ENST 234 - NATURAL HISTORY AND APPLIED FIELD ECOLOGY

Natural History and Applied Field Ecology is designed to give students an introduction to field ecology from a perspective of natural history and applied ecology. Lectures, readings, class exercises and assignments provide an overview of ecological applications that are employed by practitioners and educators. Real-world examples that span a broad array of taxa (primarily plants and animals), ecosystems (terrestrial, aquatic, natural, anthropogenic), geographic regions and problems are presented throughout the course. Field excursions are designed to give students an introduction to ecological applications, methods and field observations, as well as to get students out in the field to see many of the ecological problems that are addressed in the lectures and readings. This course is a requirement for the Environmental Studies major, and serves as one of the choices that fulfill the sustainability core requirement for SSHS.
